jobmentoring programs (54%) versus Cohort 2 participants (24%). Job mentoring has the effect ofestablishing an employee into the company culture and helps when it comes to advance in theirjobs.To determine the effects of the Never Stop Learning module, we asked participants whichcomponents of the module they had achieved since graduation. Six months is fairly early toevaluate the total effects of continuous learning on a person, but there were some distinctivedifferences between the cohorts when it came to the components and the proportion of thecohorts that obtained a certificate and completed online courses. For these components, Cohort1’s participation was 73% & 27%, respectively compared with Cohort 2 that was 29% & 19%,respectively. When

I found the various functions in this system were well integrated. I thought there was too much inconsistency in this system. I would imagine that most people would learn to use this system very quickly. I found the system very cumbersome to use. I felt very confident using the system. I needed to learn a lot of things before I could get going with the system. Please add suggestion(s) to the box below about the game design and game elements.

the reduced cognitive load of the new schedule. Thisalso enables more focused lab sessions for programming exercises. The potential drawback isthat students will not see the application of the programming concepts until the fifth week or so.We have attempted to address this issue by making lab exercises more applied, for example byanalyzing sample electrocardiogram data with MATLAB. More concentrated MATLABinstruction may also help reading assignments, as discussed in section 4.

Considering this was a point of emphasis in the review packet andrelated to this experiment, it seemed a fair question on the final exam to gauge if the students hadmore comprehension of why certain terms in the balance were removed.The question was: “Recall the experiment you all did on the last day of class. The height of water in the column is 25” and you measure a flow rate of 0.000213 kg/s. I used the mechanical energy balance and simplified it to . This means Ftotal = 6.23 J/kg. • The cross sectional area at the top of the column of water (Point 1) is 0.00456 m2 and the cross

: Mechanical/HVAC, Electrical/Lighting, and Structures, as well as investigate the possibility of future track options. The timeline for the electrical/lighting track option was deferred to 2019. The program should be built around tenured/tenure track faculty, with Professors of Practice used to meet the needs for relevant faculty design experience. The program should begin offering graduate degree(s) within 2-3 years after starting.As a result, the following next steps were approved for the program’s implementation: Create a formal Industry Advisory Panel (IAP) with a sub-group in each of the three track option areas: Mechanical/HVAC, Electrical/Lighting, and Structures. Develop a detailed plan for the
advanced BIM applications.Five course objectives were developed to match the CM curriculum needs in BIM contents andalign with the six levels of cognitive learning process in Bloom’s Taxonomy. In each coursemodule, specific course topics were introduced and associated with a course objective. Courseassessment methods and criteria were detailed for each course objective, and course evaluationplan was briefly explained for future research. This paper will serve as a case study of anadvanced level BIM course in CM programs.References1. Zolfagharian, S., Gheisari, M., Irizarry, J., and Meadati, P. (2013).

the time. These photos were posted in a private album for each group on a photoannotation and organization website, accompanied by written explanations about what studentshad decided to photograph and why. As a second step to the project, students were to use theannotation tools on the website to mark up the photos provided by the other student(s) in theirgroup, graphically identifying which members were subjected to the various loading conditionsof tension, compression, bending, or shear, and identifying the directions in which the forces ormoments were applied. This first minor project allowed students to communicate a little bitabout themselves as they worked together, in addition to providing them with some simple butcritical experience

problems and that the learner can recall the solution methodused in the previous problem (Reed,1992).” ( Jonassen, 1997, p. 71). This is beneficial to astudent in the beginning as solving fundamental problems on a foreign topic needs practice.Eventually, if the student pursues further study and enters the profession, the student willencounter ill-defined problems (complex problems). Jonassen (1997) found that “ill-structuredproblems [to] require that learners assemble a large amount of relevant, problem-relatedinformation from memory (Voss & Post, 1989). Learners cannot retrieve the appropriate rulesfrom the chapter(s) being studied. Ill-structured problems engage a broader range of conceptualknowledge about the problem domain” (Jonassen, 1997
engineering student could be created. Overall, the current data suggest thatfurther research is necessary to determine what other individual differences might be moreeffective predictors of success and retention. As we continue this line of research, we willcontinue investigating additional factors from which persistence in engineering can be predicted.What remains uncontested is the conclusion that better insight into students’ ability to succeedand choice to remain would help educators address the lowering retention rates in engineeringprograms.

week of the course, open-ended entrance surveys were used to gauge students’ priorknowledge and current conceptions of engineering. For the entrance survey, students werespecifically asked the open-ended question, “What is an engineer?” The open-ended entrancesurvey also included short-answer questions on preferred name and pronoun(s), intended major,and particular course topics of potential excitement or concern to students. During the fifth(final) week of the course, participants were asked to reflect on their definition of what it meansto be an engineer and how these perceptions changed during STEP. These reflections werewritten, open-ended responses on the course final exam. Table 2 displays the two prompts usedfor data collection.Table 2
